T minus 6 days

So, considering that I'm leaving soon for six months or so in France, I thought I'd better reboot this blog to keep everyone updated on the fascinating details of my life. Currently, nothing is in the suitcases. Nothing has registered yet, either; there's this weird blank spot in my brain where the immediate future usually resides. Nevertheless, I have high hopes for the trip. My host family and I have exchanged a few emails, and they seem to be ridiculously nice (and attractive...I'm a little scared that they're going to meet me in the airport and send me home for not having nice enough skin). I found an ultimate team there that I can practice with, so none of my skillz should deteriorate too much in my time away (of course, that shouldn't be too hard, considering that I have no skillz to speak of).

Thing that I am currently looking forward to the most: once again being able to use the language barrier as an excuse for being completely inept, especially when dealing with civil servants
Thing that I am currently looking forward to the least: toilets
